This is not needed and should not be done.

You can only load one of ip_wccp or ip_gre at the time.

No, it isn't.

The only difference is that for Linux-2.6.9 or later ip_gre supports WCCP,
provided you set up the proper GRE tunnel to accept the WCCP packets sent
to you by the router.

GRE tunnels are created by the "ip tunnel" command.

Try the following:

   modprobe ip_gre
   ip tunnel add wccp mode gre remote ip.of.your.router dev ethX
   ip link set wccp up

where ip.of.your.router is the IP of your router and ethX is the interface
where the WCCP packets from the router will be seen.
